Juniors not taking chemistry part of WESTTEST

By: Lexi Martin

It has been said that junior who did not take
chemistry do not have to take the science portion of the WESTEST. Students who
do have to take it will go somewhere like the cafeteria to take it. Others will
stay in their homerooms and play games and such to pass the time.

Assistant
principal Bev Shatto commented on the matter, “Chemistry is the standard test
for juniors and it would be unfair to those not taking the class to take the
test.”
Junior Cassie
Toole is “Extremely happy” that she doesn’t have to take the test. She then
went on to say “it’s less stress on us during the week.”
Other students
are not as pleased about this. Junior Braxton Morrison went on to say that “It’s
unfair that we have to take it and others don’t.”
WESTEST week
will is May 13-16 and the science test for juniors will be on May 16. Those
taking the test will be in the cafeteria while others will stay in their
homeroom and do productive things like study for finals or the ACT. Some
teachers allow their students to play games during this time as well.
